I don't think that's the case. Hinckley point has been a spectacular shit show from the hey go.

As for TMI... It's funny the rap the nuclear industry gets. Was it good... No... Not some rando falsetto of hist roof installing solar panels and that's already more people deadv than TMI. The were name design flaws, but the design also had also many failsafes points which is why a meltdown didn't go like Chernobyl.

You only think my own source was at odds work what I said because you didn't read it all.

I'm saying you do not need to carry your license with you which means I'm that case you are not obliged to produce documentation when your are stopped. It's not complicated. I'm not sure why you are making a meal out of it. Though given that you also don't know what an allegory is, it seems you struggle work words and their meaning.

I don't really know how to touch type, but I'm good enough to get by. I stopped hunt 'n peck decades ago when I started getting tendonitis from overuse. The nice things is that I don't generally need to look at the keyboard (except for unusual characters), my hands don't move off the palm rest, and I can watch the screen rather than where my fingers are.
And, due to another commenter on this, I re-learned that ctrl-backspace deletes an entire word %^)
Maybe it's more like learning an instrument. If you get good enough with the interface, the interface kinda melts away and you're just making music.

mistaeks.

well played

Then you need to switch to using a clicky mechanical keyboard with blank keys.

I mean it is if you do it the way Hinkley Point was done.

Anyhoo, I think you could re title the article "After years of dither, Britain changes its mind".

Jaywalking is a crime in many other places too

So? It's a shitty crime bought and paid for by the motor vehicle industry. It's an absolute travesty that it exists and I am glad that the only attempts to introduce it here failed.

Similarly lots of places ban drinking of alcohol in public places, especially at night. Some places even ban public consumption of alcohol at any time, not just late at night, for example:

Right, America, yes. The UK has some alcohol control zones where the police can ask you to stop and move on if you are drinking, but you can drink in public. Nothing wrong with having a drink or two in a public park or beach with a picnic.

Urinating in public is disgusting and should not be done at all.

Well, that's you know, just like, your opinion, man.

Many men's toilets are barely private anyway, being a bunch of urinals or trough with no partitions.

but it would still be disgusting to do in an area that's frequented by others.

That's because it makes things nasty, not that urination is disgusting per-se. Some places have come up with solutions like pop-up urinals, which allow for what is essentially public urination without making the city stink. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

So when I said "You are not required to have your driving license on your person.", your long and condescending post was actually you saying "yes I agree"?

And since you're dreadfully forgetful you also said:

GP >> When you get pulled over by a cop you do not want to have any problems handing over your ids
You > This is a thing in literally every country on the planet that has a functional government.

And as I pointed out, it isn't in the UK because as you now know, you don't actually need to carry your driving license with you when you drive. I know you have a very hard problem imagining how any country that isn't full of eagles n' shit functions, but rest assured, we do.

Well, duh, submarines aren't supposed to be seen. That's their whole point.

i absolutely dearly love the arrogance of angry people on the internet, especially when they are wrong.

Here is the only relevant direct quite from the article:

If you donâ(TM)t have the documents with you at the time, you may be asked to take them to a police station within 7 days.

So... yeah. You don't need to. I'm sure you'll try and hyper-fixate on something or other to "prove" you are correct even though it's right there. You must produce it... except if you don't have it you have to show someone later.

If you want to get very techincal it's an offense to not produce it, but showing it within 7 days is always a valid defense. Which means, you don't need to carry your license because there is no penalty for not doing so.

First of all, where will they get the money from to do so?

Form austerity! Or maybe by turning away immigrants.

I was careful with my wording to make it nonspecific about who I was referring to. I think it applies widely.

there is no reason for China to attack us if we don't attack them and don't help the yanks attack them

There is no *good* reason for China to attack you.

Unfortunately territorial expansionism is rarely rational, so expecting rationality out of an irrational administration is unwise. The question is not "do they have a reason to attack", but "are they likely to become expansionist" followed by "are you in range".

Singapore is a city, there isn't any countryside.

You said it something as an absolute, these are disgusting things no one should do. You can't have it both ways.

This applies to public places like streets and parks, you can drink at home or in licensed establishments (bars etc).

Yes, and?

But also, Jaywalking? Do you really believe that should be a crime, and one needing severe punishment?
